Ask Finn

The base species of the popular CPO crayfish, native to Lake Pátzcuaro in Mexico, reaching about 1.6 inches with a wild-type mottled brown to grey coloration. It is one of the smallest and most peaceful crayfish in the hobby, safe in community tanks with most small fish, and easy to breed in soft to moderately hard, slightly alkaline water.
